Firefox 3.5 Update

[feb3]

Received the FF 3.5 update last night but not sure that it has actually updated - version number is still 3.0.11.
Please could someone tell me if I have to do anything to install it properly or will it occur automatically at a later date?
(Am a complete novice with Linux).

Close all instances of Firefox.

Then, does Alt-F2
firefox-3.5 still launch 3.0.11?

Run ls -l `which firefox` in a terminal to determine if the firefox link is actually pointing to the firefox 3.5, if not correct it.

Thank you for advice. Have checked in the terminal and I am given two options - FF3 and FF3.5.
I select the latter (option 2), press Enter and nothing happens - still on the old version.
Next I tried the Alt/F2 combination and run firefox-3.5 and it came up with Shiretoko which is Firefox 3.5. I'm a bit puzzled now.
Is there anthing else that I should do please?

yer what is this sheritoko and why isnt it just firefox? the blue circle is not familiar to me.

Just to add that I have done some more research and discovered that Shiretoko is Firefox 3.5. It runs alongside 3.0, which is not removed. As I understand it FF 3.5 will not be rebranded as Firefox until the next Ubuntu version.Thanks to aysiu for the clue.

I don't think ls -l 'which firefox' does anything. Maybe I'm not inputting the command correctly.

[/I]Running
ls -l /usr/bin/firefox should tell you which Firefox (3.0 or 3.5) the Firefox launcher is currently pointing to, though.

Sorry I'm guessing you ran

ls -l 'which firefox'

which resulted in ls: cannot access which firefox: No such file or directory
but the command to run was

ls -l `which firefox`

which should display something similar to
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 2009-07-01 11:09 /usr/bin/firefox -> firefox-3.5

Anyway ` is a back tick not '

The idea is that you need to link firefox to the firefox 3.5 not firefox 3.0

Are you sure you have recieved it as an update? It won't happen if you are using 9.04. Click here to install firefox 3.5 (or double-check) (apt:firefox-3.5) You can follow my guide (http://compustorm.no-ip.org/2009/07/howto-install-firefox-3-5-on-ubuntu-jaunty/) if you want to set it as your default browser
